JINGDONG Logistics Expands Middle East Presence with 5 Warehouses, Offering Premium Services Across MENA Markets
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 April 2025 - Recently, at JINGDONG Logistics' warehouse in Riyadh, goods were being efficiently processed, destined not only for Middle East countries but also for parts of North Africa.
Currently, JINGDONG Logistics operates five warehouses in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia Warehouse No. 1. Last year, JINGDONG Group also established a strategic partnership with Saudi Electricity Company to automate and upgrade dozens of its warehouses, enhancing end-to-end supply chain efficiency and cost reduction across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
JINGDONG Group began expanding into the Middle East market years ago. In 2020,JINGDONG Logistics launched its first self-operated warehouse in Jebel Ali Port, Dubai—the largest free zone in the region. Later, its UAE Dubai Warehouse No. 2 started operation, providing an integrated supply chain solution for Chinese brands going global, as well as local brands, merchants, and traders, with coverage extending across Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Furthermore, in 2025, JINGDONG Logistics partnered with Chinese automaker Chery to establish one of the largest automotive parts centers in the Middle East. Leveraging advanced warehousing expertise and logistics technology, JINGDONG Logistics handled the planning and design of this regional parts hub while offering end-to-end supply chain services—from container receiving, customs clearance, warehousing, and quality inspection to storage, order processing, packaging, and outbound shipping. The center significantly improves parts logistics efficiency, serving markets across the Middle East and North Africa.
Beyond serving MENA markets, JINGDONG Logistics actively engages in community initiatives, leveraging its strengths to support local holiday celebrations. From March 29 to March 30, the company distributed over 1,000 gifts—including traditional Chinese presents—to residents at locations such as Tahliah Street, and Panorama Mall. This Eid al-Fitr campaign exemplified JINGDONG Logistics' commitment to integrating into local culture and connecting with communities.

NTSB urges quick fix on Boeing plane engines to prevent smoke from filling cabin after a bird strike
Safety experts recommended Wednesday that the engines on Boeing's troubled 737 Max airplanes be modified quickly to prevent smoke from filling the cockpit or cabin after a safety feature is activated following a bird strike. The problem detailed by the National Transportation Safety Board emerged after two bird strikes involving Southwest Airlines planes in 2023 — one in Havana, Cuba, and another in New Orleans. The Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing already warned airlines and pilots about the problem and the engine maker has been working on a fix. The NTSB said that the engines CFM International makes for the Boeing plane can inadvertently release oil into the hot engine when the safety feature, called a load reduction device, is activated after a bird strike or similar engine issue. The resulting smoke feeds directly into either the cockpit or passenger cabin depending on which engine was struck. Similar engine models with the same safety feature are also used on Airbus A320neo planes and C919 planes made by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China. The NTSB urged European and Chinese aviation safety regulators to evaluate those engine models to determine if they could also be susceptible to the smoke problem. Safety device solved one problem but created another The new safety device that CFM added to its engines solved one problem by limiting damage when an engine starts to come apart, but created a new problem by releasing the oil that burns and generates smoke. 'This is a case of an unintended consequence of a new and innovative safety idea where if the fan gets unbalanced that this is a way to alleviate the load and thereby doing less damage to the engine, the engine pylon, all of that,' said aviation safety expert John Cox, who is CEO of the Safety Operating Systems consulting firm. CFM said in a statement that it is 'aligned with the NTSB's recommendations and the work is already underway, in close partnership with our airframers, to enhance the capability of this important system.' The company, which is a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, confirmed it is working on a software update for the 737 Max's engines and said it is evaluating similar engine models. Boeing said it is working with CFM on the update and the planemaker supports NTSB's recommendations. Boeing also updated some of the checklists pilots rely on to help them take appropriate actions. The NTSB investigated a December 2023 incident in which a Southwest Airlines plane struck a bird while taking off from New Orleans and had to land quickly after thick smoke filled the cockpit — even making it hard for the pilot to see the instrument panel or his copilot. In an incident nine months earlier involving another Southwest 737 Max, smoke filled the cabin after a bird strike after takeoff in Havana. Air from the left engine on a 737 Max flows directly into the cockpit while air from the right engine flows into the passenger cabin. FAA says it will require airlines to implement a permanent fix when it's available While these incidents were both bird strikes, the NTSB said this could happen in certain other circumstances. The FAA said in a statement that it agrees with the NTSB recommendations and when 'the engine manufacturer develops a permanent mitigation, we will require operators to implement it within an appropriate timeframe.' Pilots can act to limit smoke in the plane by manually cutting off airflow from the engines, but smoke can quickly start to fill the cabin within a few seconds. The engine manufacturer is working on a software update that should do that automatically, but that's not expected to be ready until sometime in the first quarter of next year. The NTSB said in its report that several pilots who fly Boeing 737s told investigators they weren't aware of these incidents despite the efforts Boeing and the FAA have made. The NTSB said 'it is critical to ensure that pilots who fly airplanes equipped with CFM LEAP-1B engines are fully aware of the potential for smoke in the cockpit.' Airbus didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A Southwest spokesperson said the airline has been in close contact with the FAA, Boeing and the engine maker since the incidents and notified its pilots after they happened. The spokesperson said the airline continues to address the issue through its training and safety management systems. Persistent troubles for the 737 Max The Boeing 737 Max planes have been the focus since they were involved in both incidents, and there has been a history of other problems with that plane. The Max version of Boeing's bestselling 737 airplane has been the source of persistent troubles for Boeing after two of the jets crashed. The crashes, one in Indonesia in 2018 and another in Ethiopia in 2019, killed 346 people. The problem in those crashes stemmed from a sensor providing faulty readings that pushed the nose down, leaving pilots unable to regain control. After the second crash, Max jets were grounded worldwide until the company redesigned the system. Last month, the Justice Department reached a deal to allow Boeing to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the Max before the two crashes. Worries about the plane flared up again after a door plug blew off a Max operated by Alaska Airlines, leading regulators to cap Boeing's production at 38 jets per month. The NTSB plans to meet next Tuesday to discuss what investigators found about that incident.

Trump To Sign Executive Order Granting TikTok 90-Day Extension Amid Ongoing Sale Talks
Source: SOPA Images / Getty President Donald Trump is set to sign a new executive order this week that will grant TikTok another 90-day reprieve from a potential U.S. ban, the White House confirmed Tuesday. This marks the third such extension since Trump took office in January, as his administration continues negotiations over the future of the popular video-sharing app. 'President Trump will sign an additional executive order this week to keep TikTok up and running,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News. 'As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark. This extension will last 90 days, which the administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.' The app, owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance, has been at the center of a heated national security debate. U.S. officials have raised concerns over the possibility that American user data could be accessed by the Chinese government. In April 2024, Congress passed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. TikTok operations by January 19, 2025. The law allowed for just one 90-day extension, already granted earlier this year. The new executive order, therefore, represents a second extension that technically exceeds the timeline outlined in the law. TikTok has not yet secured a buyer for its U.S. operations. Reuters reported that talks stalled in April following the announcement of new tariffs on Chinese imports, leading Chinese regulators to delay necessary approvals for any sale. With the latest extension, TikTok now has until mid-September to reach a deal.
